Day/Weight/Comment
4/27 - 210.6 I’ve not been very faithful the last several rounds. We’ve had a lot of stress in the household but hopefully after today it will be better. Refocused and ready to start another new round and lose a bit of weight. I’m the highest I’ve been in years and my 60th birthday is in December. My big goal is to be a lot lighter by then but to whittle it down a little each round. Here’s to a restart and refocus to losing weight and getting healthier.
4/28 209.6 I did better yesterday with food and recording it all. Suffered from vertigo so didn’t do much but sit. Today is a better day and just working on one day at a time.
4/29 209.8 I’m okay with that. Ate some crackers yesterday so there’s some salt. Slept better too.
4/30 209.8 Stayed the same. Had a fairly good day yesterday.

4/27: 224.0 (+1.0) - honestly no idea. Burned a ton of calories on the beach, drank 153oz of water, ate super clean and low sodium.
4/28: 224.2 (+.2) - again, no Idea. Met all my goals, 144oz of water, ate clean, exercised, etc.
4/29: 224.4 (+.2) - ugh. Starting to get frustrated. I guess now I am just hoping to end this round back at where I started (223.) Met all my goals yesterday, plus a 2.5hr nap.
4/30: 224.4 (+/-0) - thank goodness it didn’t go up again! Met all my goals. Ended up getting an Ahi salad at dinner. I did have 1 glass of dry white wine (my first adult beverage in over a month!) Driving home today, 5hrs in the car - expect to have less water than usual.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 4.5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

4/27 118.5 GKI 10.3 Late dinner at Great Greek - OMAD at 6PM - not my preferred time.
4/28 118.5 GKI 17.8 Two fun size Twix at meeting yesterday afternoon. 🤦♀️ Those haven’t affected my weight (yet?) but that up-shoot in my GKI isn’t good my other eating for the day was almost no carbs - meat, cheese, green beans, salad. I guess that’s why it’s so important for diabetics (which I’m not) and pre-diabetics to carefully watch what they eat. Just trying to stay healthy here.
4/29 119.5 GKI 18.8 Not happy about those numbers but attended first Social and Dance Club play/dinner so lots of carbs. I shall overcome. The play was really great. Over 100 people in the social hall which I believe was at its limit.
4/30 120.5 GKI 12.1 Weight up as expected. Uncertain eating today. Going to quilt shops with the ladies and stock car races with DH this evening.8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
4/27: 134.9 - I find myself eating back all my exercise calories lately and the scale is holding steady. I’d like to go down a couple more pounds to be more in the middle of maintenance range. I know what needs to be done, but I think it is going to be tough this round since my family is visiting us for a week.
4/28: 133.6 - Ate all of my calories, workout was later in the afternoon and so-so sleep.
4/29: 134.9 - Drinks and dinner with extended family and friends. Definitely ate beyond full…
4/30: 135.6 - Yikes! Good workouts yesterday, but sitting around with friends with lots of nibbles, pizzas, cookies, champagne, etc wasn’t good for the calorie budget.

4/28 - Didn't weigh but began mindful eating.
4/29 - 239.6, already pre-logged breakfast & lunch, have recipes for dinner, plan to swim for 30 minutes today.
4/30 - 236.7, healthy breakfast and super sore from exercise yesterday. Planning to get two of the grandchildren today so exercise will probably be going to the park with them but dinner is logged and planned. I do wish the water weight loss at the beginning would be the amount I lose per week.

4/27 ~ 179.4 - 14,700 and 80. Oh
4/28 ~ 180.0 - 17,300 and 116. I'm happy with this, ate a bit more yesterday as I've been dropping too fast of a rate. Feeling good though. Will get my walks in and plan on Turkey soup for dinner. Went to buy chicken thighs last night and they had turkey thighs at less then half the price!! Prices are crazy here and are changing all the time.
4/29 ~ 180.2 - 16,100 and 111. No worries I'm good with this, eating well and active. I may have to work Saturday or Sunday but will see if I can pull off a miracle today. Happy Friday!!
4/30 ~ 180.2 - 22,000 and 175. Pizza Day at work, just had one slice and my salad. Scale number is good. Got all my work done so I don’t need to go into work this weekend. Now just need to get outside in this horrible rain and get my walk in…. But first another cup of coffee. Have a great weekend !!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

4/26 - 368.8 - I am so sorry if I confused anyone yesterday. I was just trying to get myself back in the mode for posting daily. I will begin the challenge with tomorrow's weight since I missed the last 2 challenges. I also use the last weight of each challenge for my starting weight. See you tomorrow. I am so ready to get back on track!
4/27 370.0
4/28 369.0 – Yesterday I got in my steps because I went into the office and went to a religious service, so I was moving a lot. I did not log food, but I was mindful of what I was eating.
4/29 369.0
4/30 369.0 – Went into the office yesterday. Not my normal day. I had the munchies but still was within my calories because I ate back too many calories. Tomorrow going to a Vietnamese/Thai/French restaurant. I already told my friend who likes to order a bunch of appetizers I am not ordering any. I know how she is, and it will be 3 of us so this will keep me from having any of theirs. I will not look at menu at the restaurant. I will already have decided what I am eating and order without a menu and order first. I will have a fruit before going in and have some hard candy so I am not tempted when they offer me some of the appetizers. Today going to eat on plan. Goal not to gain this weekend. Get in a good workout today and maybe tomorrow.

Net change 2022 = SW 380.0 EW 360.6 (-19.4) Overall goal: 18-24 lbs.In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. 9 -

Went out for Texas BBQ and ice cream today and a little over in calories (I think?), but generally feel good about the portions I ate even though it was hard to estimate. I am trying to be more relaxed about logging going out this round; the difficulty of doing that has caused me to toss MFP in the past. I am trying to remind myself that as long as I am thoughtful about portion sizes, listen to my hunger cues, and cut back on alcohol, I WILL lose weight. And no alcohol today! So it’s a win.8 -

Round 185 ( my 117th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
It's just a day short of 3 weeks to DS wedding, I feel back on track, could I possibly lose another 3 pound by then? That's a pound a week or 1.5 pound per round. Only if I don't mess things up! Need to lose again this round, just lose!Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

I splurged on snacks yesterday afternoon. Emotional eating, I guess. Anyway, I was deliberate enough to get something I really wanted, and I was reasonable the rest of the day. I think that got the urge out of my system. Off to run off my breakfast in agility class—maybe some of the snacks, too?
4/28 - 180.2
I behaved myself yesterday, so the + is from Tuesday’s pig out. 😁
4/29 - 180
Yesterday was higher calorie than I’d hoped, partly because DH made stuffed peppers with chorizo for dinner and they were a bit hefty, and partly cuz I came home hungry from dog training and had some ice cream. Oh, well. Today’s a new day, and I’ll get some garden exercise. A while back I ordered four roses, three of them climbers, and they’re scheduled to arrive today. Very exciting! Happy Friday, all!
4/30 - 180.8
Not unexpected, from Thursday’s higher calories. No problem. That said, I’m thinking of trying a session of not counting calories, just being mindful of what I’m eating and whether I’m really hungry. I know that often I see my total calories and think, oh, I have room for a few more, and those few quickly wind up doubled or tripled late in the day. I sometimes think part of my “stuckness” — for years, decades— is having an almost constant focus on food. We’ll see. Maybe I’ll make next round an experiment. Cant be worse than the non-results I’ve had for the past months (years?) since regaining 40 pounds. Why is this so hard?

🌹🌹🌹Welcome to the lusty month of May!🌹🌹🌹 I have four roses, a lilac, a peony, and a bunch of sweet pea seedling to plant, plus lots of garden tidying. Yay! And it’s soup day—I’m making a chorizo, spinach & sweet potato soup. Enjoy your day!

Day/Weight/Comment
4/27 - 210.6 I’ve not been very faithful the last several rounds. We’ve had a lot of stress in the household but hopefully after today it will be better. Refocused and ready to start another new round and lose a bit of weight. I’m the highest I’ve been in years and my 60th birthday is in December. My big goal is to be a lot lighter by then but to whittle it down a little each round. Here’s to a restart and refocus to losing weight and getting healthier.
4/28 209.6 I did better yesterday with food and recording it all. Suffered from vertigo so didn’t do much but sit. Today is a better day and just working on one day at a time.
4/29 209.8 I’m okay with that. Ate some crackers yesterday so there’s some salt. Slept better too.
4/30 209.8 Stayed the same. Had a fairly good day yesterday.
5/01 209.4. Down a little,I’ll take it!

4/27 ~ 179.4 - 14,700 and 80. Oh
4/28 ~ 180.0 - 17,300 and 116. I'm happy with this, ate a bit more yesterday as I've been dropping too fast of a rate. Feeling good though. Will get my walks in and plan on Turkey soup for dinner. Went to buy chicken thighs last night and they had turkey thighs at less then half the price!! Prices are crazy here and are changing all the time.
4/29 ~ 180.2 - 16,100 and 111. No worries I'm good with this, eating well and active. I may have to work Saturday or Sunday but will see if I can pull off a miracle today. Happy Friday!!
4/30 ~ 180.2 - 22,000 and 175. Pizza Day at work, just had one slice and my salad. Scale number is good. Got all my work done so I don’t need to go into work this weekend. Now just need to get outside in this horrible rain and get my walk in…. But first another cup of coffee. Have a great weekend !!
5/1 ~ 179.3 - 21,400 and 137. It’s finally May! 🌸 Forecast is still dreary but last year it was hot and dry and lots of forest fires so … I guess the rain is good ¿. Did a 10k early walk then some shopping and the sun poked out for the last few hours, felt marvellous! Another good walk today then meal prep my lunched for the next few days. I might think up some new goals for May.
